A commitment to sustainability requires leadership. Clearwater is leading the industry and is a respected partner in initiatives to improve sustainability of resources in the jurisdictions where we operate. One of Clearwater’s major initiatives has been our commitment to the development of rights-based management systems. Secure access to a defined share of the available quota ends the destructive race for fish that occurs in competitive fisheries.Within this structure, Clearwater has eagerly taken the opportunity to invest heavily in research and technology that underlie sustainable management.
Over and above our commitment to fisheries leadership, we have also taken on a broader role as a sustainability leader through our commitment to the Canadian Industry Program for Energy Conservation as a CIPEC Leader. This program, along with other initiatives we are undertaking, addresses the need for sustainability throughout all our operations, including our processing facilities and offices.
A commitment to sustainability also requires accountability. Clearwater can demonstrate to customers that proper management and controls are in place in all of our fisheries through a variety of mechanisms including self-assessment, customer audits, and independent third-party eco-labeling programs.
